The english version atm is more grindy than Lineage 2 (the 30s in rohan feels like the 40s in lineage 2). It takes roughly 1000 mobs to lvl you from 34 to 35 (and those are mobs that are 10 lvls higher than you).  The exp curve basically skyrockets up the 20's and never really flattens down.

 

Plus the massive bot problem already hitting it.

 

It could be a good game, but it appears they want to force players to use the CS by making the exp rates brutal and the drop rates just as bad.

what about higher levels. because in lineage 2 you get 0.01% for every kill in the 70s
 

Another warning for people who think this game is free - ingame shop item games are not free - especially when the item shop is expensive you pay more than for mmorpgs with monthly fees:

- second bank bag 69$ (wow i pay monthly less than 15$ for blockbuster mmos)

- + 50% xp scrolls for 3 days 10 $

- double Mkill bonus 3 days 10$

- Party xp + 50% 3 days 10 $

- double Mkill bonus for party 3 days 10 $

- 18 slot bag for character 30 days 2 $

- fishing pole +50% chance 30 days 8.50 $

and so on....

pvp/pve items:

- magic. attack + 30% for 4h 1.30 $

- melee attack + 30% for 4h 1.30 $

- pdef +10 30 days 2.50 $

and so on ...

The infos are from beta players and i saw this thread per accident, thought i post it here..i never ever touch a ingame shop item mmorpg again.

There is nothing in the store you have to buy.  And most of the people playing the game that I've talked to are against buying stuff from the store.  In addition, there are several posts about how useless many of the items in the store are.  What we would like to see are preservation stones (make it so when you forge, you fail you don't loose the item) and skill stones (the skills go up t level 5, with these can go up to 7).

So yeah, everything you would want to buy in the store can be bought in game for in game money.  In addition, you can sell items from the game for store points that you can then use to buy that stuff if you wanted to (kinda like EVE's GTC).

A game has to make money.  Free to play games usually make them with a store or lots of ads.  This one went with the store.  SOE did the same thing with the EQ2 exchange servers.  And it is not the first or will be the last to do similar.

lol in the 70s it is roughly .001 per kill, so 10 times more mobs per lvl than L2

and L2 caps at ~lvl 80, rohan caps at lvl 99.  in the 90s it is .0001 per kill

ive started playing this game, looks ok so far, nice animations, movement system kinda weird, but looks alright.

The only thing i dislike is the fact you have to be lvl 30 to wtfpwnt other players

since pvp dmg is reduced to ~1/8th or 1/10th the normal dmg, you will not wtfpwnt anyone, unless you are 30 lvls higher, or you have a raid group.

u cant pvp until lvl 30

yes I know, and even when you get to pvp the dmg is so reduced it is about pointless.

well that makes the game more challenging, and gives you something to get lvl 30 for
